A comparison with Signalmash’s Compliance as a Service specifically, not Signalmash as a whole.
Signalmash is a boutique CPaaS that folds 10DLC into its own platform, as guided self-registration or a done-for-you service for partners, with real human support. Its registration is tied to sending on Signalmash's carriers. Ekas is a carrier-agnostic compliance engine that checks a registration, returns the exact fix, and files it on the provider you already use, across 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free. Here is where each one wins.
The matchup

| Ekas | Signalmash | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A carrier-agnostic compliance engine that checks a registration, returns the exact fix, and files it on the provider you already use. | A boutique CPaaS that registers your 10DLC as part of sending on its own platform, with human support. |
| Where it runs | On top of the provider you already use, from Twilio to Bandwidth to Sinch. You keep your own carrier relationships. | Signalmash only. The registration is tied to sending on their carriers, and the partner model takes a share of your traffic. |
| Channels | 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free. | 10DLC, Toll-Free, and short code, though RCS is not part of the compliance service. |
| What your customer fills in | A short form. They give an EIN, a website, and campaign details, and Ekas prepares the rest. | The full TCR form, self-entered in their dashboard with field guidance, or handed to their team. |
| The fix before you submit | Ekas returns the exact change to make before you submit, automatically, and a human steps in on the hard cases. | Their team reviews campaigns before launch, and the price sheet charges a fee when a vet fails. |
| If it gets rejected | Follow the fixes and the rejection doesn't count toward your quota, and Ekas covers the provider's registration fee. | No guarantee. A failed vet and an appeal each carry their own one-time fee. |
| Built to embed | A hosted flow, API, embeddable widget, or MCP for your own customers, with one dashboard across all of them. | A dashboard and a reseller program. To serve your customers you resell Signalmash and route their traffic through it. |
| Pricing | Volume-based compliance pricing, from $500/month for up to 50 registrations, on any provider. | Cheap and transactional: a low monthly platform fee plus per-brand and per-campaign charges, on their own sending. |
| Best for | Platforms getting many customers approved the first time on the stack they already run. | A single business or reseller that wants one boutique vendor to send messages and register, with a person on call. |

Signalmash is a boutique CPaaS with real human support, and for a single business it can be a clean one-stop shop: numbers, sending, and 10DLC registration in one place, with a compliance team on a shared Slack channel. It is cheap and transactional, so for a low-volume sender the economics beat a compliance subscription. For a reseller happy to route traffic through Signalmash and share revenue, its done-for-you service handles registration end to end. When you want one vendor to both send and register, and you don't mind sending on their carriers, Signalmash is a genuine fit.
Signalmash's registration only works if you send on Signalmash. The whole model, including the partner revenue share, assumes your traffic flows through their carriers. Ekas checks and files on whatever provider you already use, so you keep your own carrier relationships and rates.
Both check a submission before it goes in, but Ekas returns the exact fix automatically and backs the result with a guarantee, where Signalmash reviews by hand and charges a fee when a vet fails. Ekas also pulls most of the business data so your customer fills in a short form, covers RCS alongside 10DLC and Toll-Free, and ships as a hosted flow, API, widget, or MCP that you put in front of your own customers, rather than a reseller program that routes them through one provider.
Choose Signalmash when you are a single business or reseller that wants one boutique vendor to send messages and register your 10DLC, with a person on call, and you are fine sending on their carriers. Choose Ekas when you want to keep your own provider, get customers approved across 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free with a short form and exact fixes, embed the flow in your own product, and stand behind the outcome with a guarantee.
Bring a submission that got rejected and we will walk through what Ekas would have caught before it went out.
